Hybrid Perovskite and MOF-Based Composites for Advanced Functional Materials

Dear Colleagues,

Metal–organic complexes, including hybrid perovskites and metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), have emerged as two of the most dynamic material families in contemporary materials science, offering exceptional tunability, diverse structural chemistries, and remarkable optoelectronic and catalytic properties. Combining these materials into composite architectures presents an exciting frontier, enabling synergistic enhancements that surpass the capabilities of each component alone. Such hybrid systems demonstrate improved stability, tailored electronic structures, and multifunctional behaviour, making them strong candidates for next-generation applications.

This Special Issue aims to highlight recent advances in the synthesis, characterization, modelling, and application of perovskite–MOF composites. Topics of interest include innovative fabrication strategies, interfacial engineering, stability optimization, and property tailoring for photovoltaics, light-emitting devices, sensors, photocatalysis, thermoelectrics, ion transport, and beyond. Contributions exploring fundamental mechanisms—such as charge transfer, confinement effects, moisture protection, and defect modulation—are particularly welcome.

By bringing together experimental and theoretical perspectives, this Special Issue seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of how hybrid perovskite–MOF composites can be systematically designed for advanced functional applications. We invite original research articles, reviews, and perspectives that push the boundaries of this rapidly growing field and inspire new directions for innovation in hybrid materials.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
